Space Invader Alien Snow Sculpture.. The Simpsons Nail Design.. On/Off Switch On The Head Is A Cool Accessory But Not Functional.. Lego My Apple is a Cute MacBook Decal Design..
Snow festivals are held every year in February in the town of Hokkaido in Japan, and this Space Invader Alien Sculpture was found standing tall by Jbernhardt at the Annual Sapporo and Otaru Snow Festival 2008. Isn’t it amazing that retro gaming icons are finding place in culture of the country where they originated from? Of course Japan is a land of geek culture but yet it seems intriguing that artists should be inspired by Space Invader Alien to sculpt it in snow for an annual festival.
It is not known what exact statement artist intended to make by sculpting this huge alien who is shot down mercilessly in the Space Invader game. But aliens and characters from virtual world are indeed invading our consciousness.
They are engaging us in the virtual world with tricky geeky games and are invading our homes as various product designs. Virtual has become more real than ever before. These retro gaming characters began it all and no doubt they are inspiring artists, sculptors and claiming their rightful place in the cultural milieu.

If you are tired of the old, boring look of your nail polish, and want to do something different with your nails, why not try painting them with some out-of-the-box ideas. For one, you can paint your nails with some of the fictional characters featured in the animated television series named the Simpson family by the same person who brought you the Bacon Nails.
You can have your pick from either the main characters – Homer and Marge, their three children Lisa, Bart, and Maggie, or go for the other characters like Abraham Simpson – Homer’s father, Marge’s sisters Selma and Patty Bouvier, or the two pets of the family, Snowball II and Santa’s Little Helper. Whatever be your choice, these characters are sure to give your nails a youthful image, and you can easily let your hair down while showcasing your nails that boast of something different from the usual run-of-the-mill stuffs.
So, gear up to dress your nails somewhat differently by painting them with the Simpson family characters or better yet, check out the inspirational Super Mario Brothers Nails.
Trust eccentricity to rear its head every now and then, like this bloke who has ‘fixed’ an on/off switch to the rear of his head looking quite weird and scary at the same time. Dominic Wilcox certainly takes the cake for being extremely wacky, innovative and quirky, but may not score any brownie points for design functionality. Well, we don’t know that yet but can hope that it serves more purpose than being just an odd accessory. The on/off switch could perhaps turn his creativity on or off based on how much he wishes his brain to endure. Or maybe, it could get one to doze off or stay wide-awake whenever required. That, friends, is something we believe will take eons to accomplish.
Dominic Wilcox’s on/off switch is a cool thing to have on your head, if you are desirous of making heads turn (not yours, of course!). All you need to do, as we gather from the images, is shave off some of the hair on your head and get the switch affixed with super glue? If you are keen on getting a similar ‘make-over’, you should definitely give Dominic a call.
Lego My Apple is one hell of a MacBook Decal Design from MacSlaps that breaks the monotony of products hooked to the “i” syndrome.

For those who wish to wear the crown of a geek but yet want to keep it stylish and unconventional, this is will be a prudent choice.
It can dress up MacBooks in sizes of 13, 15 and 17 and is available for just $14 at Etsy. So even though you suffered a complete rip off when you bought a Mac, keeping up with your cool quotient with this decal design will not repeat history. If you’re on a hunt for stuff that is whacky but yet pays a tribute to the fan following of Apple, check out the Steve Job Bowling Pin Art, Apple Power Mac G4 Motorbike Mod and the Apple Magic Mouse.

Your favorite blocks game is now available in a colorful, glowing avatar, thanks to Aubrey Kraft and her dexterous effort that led to the creation of the Tetris Lamp. A shape-shifting (of course!) twinkling lamp, the Tetris desktop item can add life to a mundane ambiance. We have taken a special liking for the understated technique behind the little bulbs blinking at random and giving the lamp an angelic appearance. You can, while trying your best to beat your neighbor’s high score, build your own assortment of lamp shapes or leave the empty mind to come up with an abstract shape, which will still end up looking like a designer’s masterpiece.
The Tetris Lamp is a glowing (pun intended!) tribute to one of the most addictive games in the world. For those who have doted on this timeless concept, the Tetris lamp adorning their desktop will be the next best thing to discovering a pot of gold in their backyard. Well, we certainly do not want to go overboard with our praise, so we will let you give your own opinion.
If I was to speak of a plush Chess Set, what exactly would run through your mind: Crystal horses, a Queen donning rubies or a shiny Gold crowned King? Well, the Unique Chess from retailers of Luxury stuff and has a different opinion on the idea of class apart Luxury. They came up with the idea of concave spaces on the board and chess pieces that can wobble.
I don’t know if this is what someone would call end result of brainstorming, but the rounded chrome bottoms on the chess pieces ensure that never fall. I wonder how many would be game to spare $250 for this chess set. The pawns there look more like bowling pins more than what they actually are.
Well, like me, if you still haven’t scored on a buying point, the fact that it’s made up of chic walnut and maple wood might just make you change your mind. For more decorated versions of this brain-churning game, check out the Muppet Chessboard Set, the Transformers Chess Set and the concept of Mac Vs PC Chessboard.

Here is a cool way to see and play with the Rubik’s Cube, which has been built using red dice, making it a little less colorful but still as challenging.
There are many Rubik’s Cube fans Worldwide but although we cannot deny the power and hypnotizing effect of the colorful cube, a different look would be a great and refreshing alternative, as done in this version or the Rubik’s Cube Sandwich.
Similar to the Magnetic Rubik’s Cube we seen before, this is also a homemade Magnetic creation but which uses Red Dice instead of clear squares. The result is amazing and still makes all sides different and leaves a clear solution to be reached. The Paper Rubik’s Cube on the other hand was a great creation, but without using color paper or some kind of symbols, it is not in fact the puzzle but simply a cube with twisting sides.
For Rubik’s Cube fans, this is another awesome way to play the famous puzzle game.
